Being able to bookmark a video

So sometimes I'll come across a video, and one of two things might come to mind - "I need to use this in my app" or "I dont quite get this fully just yet". Either way, this will make me want to come back to the video.

The trouble is, I seem to have trouble finding the video that a wanted to come back to and what time in the video is necessary for me to watch again. It would be cool if you could bookmark a video, or just like on youtube a "Watch later" section where you could back to it. Maybe be able to add a note to video to so you could put "4:25 - Recap on type methods" etc.

I noticed in the emails I receive it says put feedback here so I thought I'd post this :)

Yes, Please. I'll check back in a year to see if someone else posted. ;)

A very good idea, this is something I'd like to see, myself.

A bookmark would be more akin to your idea but we could save courses as "Favourites" the way we use bookmarks right now. :-)

Hi guys, did this ever happen? I'm finding Treehouse a great resource but it's frustrating I can't save individual videos in a collection so I can refer to them later. Finding specific info within a track can be really tricky!

Hi - does anyone know if there has been any progress on this? I like to go back and review certain videos, or even sections of a video, and with the amount of content I've gone through it's often difficult to remember where the concept was discussed. TeamTreeHouse is a great site with great content but this seems like a basic e-learning functionality piece is missing. Does anyone have any connections with the TTH dev team :) ?

Hi all!, The only option I have found is to bookmark a whole course. This is done by checking the blue star at the bottom of the course trailer video. When this is checked, the whole course is added to the list of your bookmarks. (you can see this on your homepage under bookmarks). I just wish there was an option to bookmark a particular video in a course, not the whole course. Anyone found out how to? Thanks in advance
